RONALDINHO WARNS RIVALS

 

Ronaldinho - warning for Barcelona rivals.

RONALDINHO WARNS RIVALS

Barcelona superstar Ronaldinho sounded an ominous warning to the rest of the primera Liga by insisting: "We can still get better."

Frank Rijkaard's side have started the domestic campaign with three wins out of three, scoring nine goals in the process, and thumped Levski Sofia 5-0 in their Champions League opener for good measure.

However, Brazil playmaker Ronaldinho is not getting too carried away just yet.

"This season has started well but we can still get better," he told club website www.fcbarcelona.com.

"There are many teams out there that can create many problems for us in the fight for the title - Sevilla, Valencia and Real Madrid among others."

It is Quique Sanchez Flores' Valencia side who on Sunday travel to the Nou Camp, where they have picked up points in each of the past five seasons.

Ronaldinho is keen to buck that trend.

"We are highly motivated towards getting all three vitally important points," said the 26-year-old.

"We must pay close attention to all their players for there to be no surprises.

"Valencia are an extremely difficult team to beat and they have immense quality in attack."

Ronaldinho insists he has not been distracted by talk of a possible new deal in Catalonia.

"I'm never worried about my contract," he said. "I only worry about playing.

"My brother deals with all the paperwork, the only time I worry is when I'm on the pitch.

"I am very happy with the way things are going at the moment. Since I have come to Barca, things have gone well for me. I hope things continue like this all season and for a long time to come."

The former Paris St German star is even happy to live with Rijkaard's famed rotation policy.

"No player likes to sit out of a game, (but) the boss makes his decisions and we respect them," he said.

"I do not consider myself untouchable."

Argentinian youngster Lionel Messi picked up a thigh problem during last weekend's victory over Racing Santander but resumed full training on Thursday and is in contention.

Santiago Ezquerro has been working in isolation after injuring his left quadriceps, and is unlikely to feature.

Valencia, along with Barca and Sevilla, are the only other Primera Liga team to have a 100% record after three games.

Spain striker David Villa is hopeful that record will be extended on Sunday, although the 24-year-old knows it will be far from easy.

"We are very optimistic about the match," Villa told club website www.valenciacf.es. "We know it will be a very difficult encounter against fantastic opposition.

"Their results speak for themselves - champions of Europe, champions of Spain... they are one of the strongest teams in the world.

"Like our team, theirs is full of quality players. If one does not perform then another will. We will have to be alert until the final whistle."

Villa will come face to face with international colleague Xavi on Sunday, and is relishing the task.

"(Xavi is) a great footballer, very important for the way Barcelona play.

"I have had the pleasure of playing in the same side as him and understand very well the way he plays."

Ronaldinho: Barcelona victory great team effort

Barcelona ace Ronaldinho declared last night's 5-0 thrashing of Levski Sofia was a team effort.

The Brazilian scored the final goal with a typical flourish and said: "We started the game with the intention to score goals and we have managed to do so.

"I am very happy to have been involved in the goals, though the entire team played very well. It was a demanding game, due to the opponent and also the rain.

"I was hoping for an opportunity to score and it came."

On his understanding with Samuel Eto'o, Ronaldinho added: "Every day my understanding with Samuel improves. We know eachother better every day and that helps us with our passing and movement. This is very good for the team."

Ronaldinho Hopes For Happy Time In Paris

Ronaldinho left Paris St Germain in 2003 after two frustrating and unsettled seasons with the Ligue 1 side during which he failed to live up to his billing as one of the most exciting prospects in the game.

Three years on, he returns to the French capital for the Champions League final against Arsenal on Wednesday as the undisputed king of world football and the inspirational leader of a Barcelona side who are determined to cap a brilliant season by winning a second European Cup.

The effervescent Brazilian has rightly been given credit for transforming the Catalans from Primera Liga also-rans into one of the dominant clubs in Europe.

The Spanish champions have also fulfilled their part of the bargain by providing an environment in which the Brazilian's prodigious talent has been able to thrive. For both player and club it has been a marriage made in heaven.

"My future is Barcelona," Ronaldinho told Reuters recently. "I'm not thinking of anything that's not Barcelona. I have all that I could wish for and the club have made a great effort to make sure I'm happy."

It was very different, though, when Ronaldinho first arrived in Europe to sign for PSG from his home-town club Gremio in March 2001. A protracted legal argument over the size of the transfer fee delayed his debut for five months until the start of the following season.

He had a moderately successful first campaign in France, ending the season as PSG's top scorer with nine goals while the team finished fourth in the league.

It was enough for the forward to win back his place in the national team in time for the World Cup where he played a crucial role in Brazil's record fifth victory.

Bid for a night in Ronaldinho's bed

ZURICH (Reuters) - Do you fancy spending a night in the same hotel room that Ronaldinho, star of Brazil's World Cup squad, has just slept in?

If so, make your bid in an eBay online auction launched by a luxury hotel in central Switzerland where the Brazilian team will set up training camp next Monday before the World Cup in neighbouring Germany.

"We just hit on the idea by chatting among ourselves in the hotel management," assistant manager Philipp Musshafen at the Park Hotel Weggis said on Tuesday.

The highest bid so far for Ronaldinho's double room is 502 Swiss francs ($415) -- with much lower bids of 51 francs apiece being made for the rooms of fellow players Ronaldo, Kaka, Adriano and Roberto Carlos.

The auction (www.ebay.ch) runs until May 29.

Winners will spend the night of June 3 at the hotel, just hours after the Brazilians move out at the end of a two-week stay. They will also be given signed Brazilian football shirts. Normal rates for the five rooms on offer range from 480 to 780 Swiss francs each.

biography of Ronaldinho in Barca

Biography

Ronaldinho signed for Barca in the 2003-04 season following in the footsteps of a number of illustrious fellow countrymen who had enjoyed successful careers with the club: Evaristo, Ronaldo, Romario and Rivaldo.

Ronaldinho began his footballing career with Gremio de Porto Alegre, where his burgeoning talent soon brought him to the attention of the international football world. During the four seasons he spent there, from 1997 to 2001, Ronaldinho also started to claim a place in the Brazilian international side. He won the Copa America in 1999 scoring six goals, including a memorable effort against Venezuela.

In 2001, Ronaldinho decided to try his luck in European football and signed for French league outfit PSG though his debut was delayed due to a financial dispute between the two clubs. Although his time with PSG was not as successful as he would have hoped, Ronaldinho continue to prosper with the international team, winning a World Cup winners' medal at the 2002 Japan-Korea championships.

Right from his very first match in a Barca shirt, the fans were seduced by Ronaldinho's spectacular brand of footballing magic. His ability to change the course of a match with a brilliant solo effort made him the reference point of the Barca attack and one of the truly great footballing icons of the opening decade of the new millennium.

In his first season, the team strung together a sensation run of seventeen consecutive matches without defeat and finished in second place in La Liga, thereby achieving direct qualification for the Champions League. This impetus carried on to the 2004-05 season and Ronaldinho and the rest of the Barca squad soon established a lead at the top of the table that would take them to the league title. In addition, the Brazilian's tremendous talent has received public recognition with individual awards such as the FIFA World Player 2004 and 2005 and the Ballon d'Or 2005.

Since then, Ronaldinho has become the leader of the mighty Brazil side, with which he won a Confederations Cup winners' medal in Germany 2005.

Ronaldinho is under contract with FC Barcelona until 30th June 2010.
